      ATTENTION Forum Database Breach   03/04/2019

      There has been a breach of our database. Please make sure you change your password (use a password manager, like Lastpass).
      If you used this password anywhere else, change that too! The passwords themselves are stored hashed, but may old accounts still had old, insecure (by today's standards) hashes from back when they where created. This means they can be "cracked" more easily. Other leaked information includes: email, IP, account name.
      I'm trying my best to find out more and keep everyone up to date. Discord (http://invite.gg/TerraFirmaCraft) is the best option for up to date news and questions. I'm sorry for this, but the damage has been done. All I can do is try to make sure it doesn't happen again.

Shell fish/more sea food

2 posts in this topic

I'm currently studying Archaeology at uni and have great interest in the Mesolithic/Neolithic period. During the mid- late Mesolithic many hunter gatherers formed communities on the coast and lived primarily off sea food, which consisted mainly of shell fish like mussels and oysters etc. 

 

I was thinking what with animals being now much harder to find, being able to forage for shell fish on the coast or fresh water would offer a good alternative food source. Lobster pots and other things of that nature may also be useful for people living on the coast, although these would have to be placed in much deeper water.

 

I was thinking this would also offer a decent food source for people living in desert biomes.

 

I'm not sure exactly how this would be implemented, perhaps an adaptation to the current gold pan? Or some form of net?

 

I also think fishing rods as the main tool for fishing should also be changed or edited at least. For example using wicker fish traps or placing large nets or traps and leaving them for a day or so before coming back to collect a bounty of fish.

 

Although i do like the fishing rods, i think bait should be implemented with them. Perhaps digging up grass gives a small percent of dropping worms or some form of insect which could be then combined with a fishing rod to make a baited rod, or using bread as a form of bait? Maybe through breaking it up into bits of bread in a quern? I also think that a fishing rod should have a hook, maybe implementing bone to act like leather, through crafting with a knife it and then being able to make a fishing hook?

 

I have to say though, I love this mod and the progress made with it has been amazing. Keep up to good work!

Excellent suggestion. Shellfish would be a great addition. gutting fishes by putting them in a crafting grid with a knife could also be bait. of cutting up raw meat into scraps in the same way could also be used as bait by putting bait and the fishing rod in the grid.
